(archaic)Any of the genus Lepas of pedunculated barnacles found attached to floating timber, bottoms of ships, etc.; a goose barnacle.
“60. The tiger tower, a mitres, a lithophagus, a purple rayed solen, a lepas, and 9 other shells.”
“The peduncles of the lepases are flexible; and Dr. Weatherill has ascribed to the species which he has noticed in V. 339–342., the power of availing itself of this flexibility in "extending, shrinking, and writhing itself at pleasure."”
“It was probably either a large mytilus, a meleagrina, or a pinna, and was certainly not a lepas.”
